A few years later, it set in motion a drawn-out plan to co-opt adjacent Ramillies Place as its second space. And this week, it finally launched Soho Photography Quarter (SPQ), a free open-air gallery for introducing new and exciting work by photographers on the cusp.

Sustainability is, to put it plainly, the most pressing issue in design, with the obvious effects of climate change impossible to ignore for any longer. And as the number of products designed and manufactured continues to increase, the need for companies and designers to operate using more sustainable approaches has rarely been greater. It is more important than ever to set the right course for the future and to limit the impact our activities have on the environment as much as possible.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
